Mise Park Sports Field Renovation Project

On October 26, 2011, a community meeting was held to discuss plans for a proposed renovation of the Mise Park softball and soccer sports field.  Many meeting attendees provided  significant feedback about parking, artificial turf, and noise specific to the renovation project, and other neighborhood concerns about graffiti, school traffic, and the City’s collaboration with Archbishop Mitty High School.

Since then, staff has worked to address concerns relevant to this project and improve the renovation plans.  The revised plan calls for replacing the natural turf softball and soccer fields with artificial turf, replacing existing field lights with energy efficient fixtures that minimize light spillage, adding a parking lot along the Highway 280 wall, and new fencing.  

The revised design and responses to the feedback provided at the community meeting are available for download here. This proposed design will be presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission on February 1, 2012 at City Hall, Room W-119, 200 E. Santa Clara Street, San Jose at 5:30 p.m.  Yellow comment cards will be available for anyone wishing to address the Commission on the proposed project.

Feel free to call me at (408)793-5552 with any questions regarding the proposed project.

Sincerely,
Evelyn Velez-Rosario
Parks Manager

PRNS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE RE-OPENING OF THE CAMDEN POOL

Through collaboration with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services and Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation, a new agreement has been reached to operate the Camden Community Center Pool beginning October 2011 through spring 2012.  This agreement addresses the gap in aquatic services due to recent budget impacts which would have resulted in the closure of the pool during the winter and spring seasons. LGS Recreation will operate Lap Swim, Swim Lessons, Water Aerobics, Water Yoga and Swim Team programs. The pool will reopen with a family-fun event on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. featuring the premier of a Dive-In Movie entitled “Shark Tale”.  The Camden Community Center pool is located at 3369 Union Avenue San Jose 95124.  For more information, please contact Jessica Revino at LGS Recreation (408) 354-8700 or visit www.lgsrecreation.org.
